Well, i said it a bit on twitter a few days before christmas, but guess here i got way more space available to write what went on...
-Start of it-
So, 2023 didn't started nicely on the fandom, as some controvertial rules and ways to enforce them started on a certain site...that made me back away from here, i mean that site. That's a good reason i'm not posting any main picture here since then, with only a few exceptions.
Am still he..theeere, but mostly faving, commenting and writting silly journals, other than posting new art. Tho i'm still posting on twitter, inkbunny, bluesky (when i remember these last two exists, i really need to work on dealing with multiple social media xD).
I guess nothing too bad happened in this meantime, or at least anything bad enough that didn't got resolved or that affected me in general. Then it came september, when a person i thought it was a good friend, and idolized on terms of art showed his true face to me, kicking me away from his life and pretending i never was there to start. never thought i'd be like that song "Somebody that I used to know". but it happened. and i'm not gonna lie. it still hurts, mostly cuz i'm aware that i'm not wrong there. Nothing i said was that bad enough for what happened, but like i said, it showed me a side from him i didn't knew, and now i'm glad i know.
Fun fact, he arrived in another server I'm in. After all that, i just wanted two things from him, Silence and Distance. and now i don't get any, so yay for past traume coming back eventually now \o/
A few months ago, another rupture on my friend's circle, not so severe or unexpected this time. Not gonna throw the spotlights on this one.I'm good to forgive, but not to forget, so I'll take my own time before i decide to get back there.
Oh, around this time, i started having a lot of internet issues... like it eventually getting off, then coming back either in an hour or in... 3, 4 days. Yep. It's really getting annoyng and affecting me directly. since november i got more than a week without internet, and having to spend my mobile data to gather information for my customers. It happens i guess, but since 2015 that i'm with this internet, and now it's being really constant issues.
And the cherry on top of this terrible last months, Patreon bullshit. you're tired of hearing what happened, but patreon decided to delete and ban abdl/babyfur artists and stuff... i ended deleting my page myself, and took the last 30 days thinking on how to proceed.
-A new start?-
Since patreon is gone, I'm sticking to Kofi (It's not the best option, but until subscribestar validates my profile, that's what I get). I'm giving high priority to my previous patreons, so they'll know everything first. they'll be the first ones to be asked on important stuff, like the way to keep going, if they want ko-fi subscription or direct tips.
Another big project i wanna do is a discord server... I kinda want it to be interactive there, so the first idea was make it school themed, with activities for everyone to do, like activity sheets, show and tells, gaming sections, streams there, and for each one, they'd earn points that would be used to get a free sketch or...
well, remember that silly fun game i did a few months ago, where people could vote in one of Gussy's stats to increase or decrease it? That's gonna be a thing there too.
Am currently planning on more ideas, and i'm open for more suggestions. The serve will have special channels for supporters (for some random surprise sketh stream or to watch their pictures being done). More than just another place to stay, I want a place for everyone and friends to interact, and not be just another ghost town (lke bluesky for example. I got at least a week without opening it and just got 2 new notifications xD)
These are big plans. I still want to do other stuff next year, start on animation and game design for something simple.
So i guess that's it. Thanks for reading everything. To finish this long long journal, I'd like to thank my friends. be they customers, watchers or people i barely talk. Not gonna remember all their names, so sorry if I forgot you, from the bottom of my heart.
Naz, Kola, Ceru, Friar, Quill, Gherin, Jazzy, Mika, Saila, Shyanne, Kit, Daniel, Spit, Isabelle, Deven, Ozzie, Zee-zee, Gem Nick, Johji, Myo, Tolfo, Leo, Mirtillo, Ratsh, Mock, Guax, Cho, the entire brazilian babyfur fandom and many many many others.
Alright, So Hope everyone have a better 2024. Let's try be the best of us.
